Privacy Policy
Welcome
Welcome to northfieldlabs.com (the “Site”), which is
owned by Northfield Laboratories Inc. This Privacy Policy outlines
this Site’s practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure
of information that you provide via this Site. It does not apply
to information collected in other forums, such as via offline means
or via websites to which this Site links or refers, except for Northfield
Laboratories registration information collected at sites hosting
webcasts we sponsor.
This Site, or portions of the Site, may be operated
by a third-party hosting service. Whenever this is the case, any
personally identifiable information collected via this Site will
be collected and used by the hosting service subject to an obligation
to comply with this Privacy Policy and to not use the information
for any purpose other than providing the hosting service.

of that information in accordance with this Policy.
Intended Audience

Active Information Collection
Some areas of this Site may ask you to submit personally identifiable

and so on. The types of personally identifiable information actively

Passive Information Collection
As you use this Site, certain anonymous information can be “passively”
collected using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet
tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files,
server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits
some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the website
you just visited and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser
version that your computer is currently using. In some cases, you
may choose to block such anonymous information collection. For example,
you can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or
instruct it to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of
this Site might not work without cookies. We reserve the right to
introduce new passive tracking technologies and techniques related
to the use of the Site but we will not, however, link your identity
with passively collected information unless you have consented.

also share personally identifiable information collected via this

by law, regulation, or court order, or in connection with the sale,
